Umberto Lenzi is undoubtedly the king of Italian crime movies, but unfortunately; Syndicate Sadists is not the best examples of his work in this genre. Lenzi's crime flicks tend to be a cut above the rest because he makes films based on stories with a point, and they don't lack direction; but this film feels a bit too wayward to fully fit with the rest of his stuff. The film takes obvious influence from Sergio Leone's landmark western 'A Fistful of Dollars' (which in turn, took influence from Akira Kurosawa's landmark samurai flick Yojimbo), in that it features two warring families and a strong character at the centre. The crime that Lenzi focuses on is kidnapping, and we centre on a character called 'Rambo'. Rambo is dragged into the war between the two families after his brother is killed because of it. Rambo uses his brains and brawn to pit the two families against one another, in the hope of gaining revenge for his brother's death, rescuing a young boy that they've kidnapped, and ultimately letting the two sides destroy one another.
The film's biggest asset is undoubtedly Tomas Milian. Milian was put to great use by Lenzi in almost all of his crime thrillers. The range of characters he has played for Lenzi is immense, and this one is easily one of the coolest. The character is called Rambo, which immediately sprang to mind the popular Sylvester Stallone character - but for once, the Italians actually haven't stolen this name as Syndicate Sadists was released first! As usual, the film is wickedly entertaining, as we get to watch Milian get himself involved in the usual array of car chases, shootouts and brawls. Lenzi has got him riding a motorbike this time round, and every scene featuring it and Milian is a real standout! However, the film often feels like it doesn't really have anywhere to go, and this means that the running time is stretched out more than it should be. Compared to the crime films of other Italian directors, Syndicate Sadists is more than above average; but in relation to Lenzi crime flicks such as Almost Human and The Cynic, The Rat and The Fist - it doesn't stand tall as one of Lenzi's best. Still, if you're looking for ninety minutes of testosterone fuelled mayhem - Syndicate Sadists will suffice!

香港法国电影节2021
2个半小时完全不会无聊，过程很精彩，结局更加精彩华丽！！！
m2259：他成为了别人的小说。卡洛琳是个好女人。
『Je pense à ceux qui doivent en eux trouver quelque chose après le désenchantement.』
法国诗人的幻灭。在权力面前，任何天赋、才能、美好的东西，都是不堪一击的。
名声决定一切的时代可不就得各种装嘛，可惜最终也没靠女人上位。
有文化的人吵架形容对方微不足道会说like a breeze… 主要还是巴尔扎克写得好，但是也没有必要加旁白加得那么多，电影完全沦为书的附属，比起同样是名著改编的《纯真年代》差了点克制
名著已经忘了，但巴尔扎克，批判现实主义的代表作家，好像是这么背的，哈哈。呈现在大屏幕上真的很绚丽，巴黎，爱一个人就把他送到巴黎去，恨一个人也把他送到巴黎去。不会引进的，真的引进就会删掉很多，没法看。
Vincent真的好会选角色…虽然拍得不算太好，但巴尔扎克拍电影比读起来更有趣哈哈哈哈哈。最重要的是印证了那句话，确实，总有人写的东西会被留下，会被记住。
我想到了所有那些在觉醒之后，必须找到内在力量的人……巴尔扎克
站得高摔得惨
一个充满灵性的青年诗人，为了生存、为了欲望、为了虚荣、为了复仇、为了爱与救赎，在五光十色、光怪陆离的巴黎罪恶大道，从默默无闻乡下少年，凭借自身的才华与努力，成为了举世瞩目的著名记者。而后又因内心的迷茫，被各种饱含欲望、嫉妒、阴谋的敌人撕裂，落寞地谢幕。这是青年诗人的幻灭，更是复辟王朝的幻灭。巴尔扎克的内容总少不了金句。
电影都是拍当下的，所以很难不开脑洞，太共情了。配乐很不错，看完得去翻原著了。
好帅嗷嗷嗷，进度条撑住啊啊啊啊啊，前方高能细细品味 ，你看你看
这部电影非常得有意思，两个小时就把一个屌丝逆袭又倾覆的故事讲清楚了。人们有时候觉得是自己在掌控自己的命运，其实你周围的一切都会影响你的想法，迫使你放弃某些东西，为了融入某些环境，所以命运掌握在自己手中其实是个幻觉吧……打算把巴尔扎克的原著找来读读
他将停止幻想，他将开始生活，他将找到内心的力量。
毕竟是名著，人物、剧情、场面都要丰满许多。
